Visual novel fans will want to charge up their PSP battery for the 16th. Mages will be releasing a demo of the PSP version of Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shojo, one week ahead of the game's final release.

Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shojo is a visual novel originally from Akabeisoft2. The PC version was released in November 2005 and was followed by a fan disk, Sharin no Kuni, Yukyu no Shonenshojo, in January 2007. The PSP version includes both the main game and the fan disk.

In the demo, you'll be able to try out an edited version of the first chapter of the main game, and part of the main scenario from the fan disk.
